Is Pregnancy Possible Despite Missing A Birth Control Pill?

Posted on Mon, 7 Sep 2015

Question: Hello
My GF has been on the pill for some time now. She forgot to take the pill before the last one of Mercilon (Friday evening). She took the last two pills Saturday evening. We had unprotected sex Saturday afternoon and I finished inside of her. We followed the prospect as she is supposed to start a new Mercilon today instead of taking a 7 day break. Is there a risk of pregnancy?

No there is absolutely no risk of pregnancy si nothing to worry but take care of the regularity in future.
You can very well start the new pill pack today itself without a break as decided.
No issues at all.

Thank you very mucn for your answer. Are there any precautions we should take for the nxt period?

Can she expect any unpleseant things for not making the break after 21 days on the pill?

Thank you!

Brief Answer:
Mild transient symptoms

Detailed Answer:
No, in case she stops after these 21 tablets and gets her periods then nothing to worry but if you guys decide to continue with another pack without a break then there can be excessive amount of bleeding on stopping the third pill pack because that will be after 3 pills packs at a stretch.
Right now in this cycle there can be slight weight gain and mood disturbances along with abdominal bloating and nausea.
But these are present in varying degrees in various females so usually nothing much to worry.
